Chapter 21 :One more stepp to the truth

Take care of her,Hiei,said Youko as he looked at the sleeping form.

What about you?You're stuck like that?

The effect on me is passing but in her case….we can't risk…..Watch her Hiei….and protect her with your life.

Hn..

Youko smirked.

-I take that as a yes…

Hotaru opened her eyes.Something wrong was about to happen.She could feel it.Pressing her chest,almost suffocating her.Kurama.She looked after him but he wasn't there anymore.She found a small note in the door.

"I will return soon.Do not fear,my firefly.Fighting was all I did during my passed life and this…it will end soon.Hiei is guarding you.I trust him more that anyone else.Stay here and wait for my return.

YK"

Hotaru pressed the paper over her chest.Tears invaded her face.Something was about to happen she was sure of it.Something with Kurama,her lover.She got dressed immediately and stepped outside the house when she met Hiei.

-Oi!he snaped.

-Let me pass,Hiei.

-Not this time…Kurama asked me to make you stay here so don't make me tie you up!

Hotaru glared him.

-Let me pass or you're in big trouble!

-Hn.

-Hiei,I'm worning you!I may not transform but I still have powers…

-Not strong enough to face me!

"He may have right…..but I have to leave this place somehow….Kurama is fighting…I must protect him…"

She took of her wand.The sun maked her shine.Hiei's eyes grew a little.

-You will not!he said coolly.

-If I must I will…stepp away!

-Hn..

-Hiei I must reach him!Something bad is going to happen to Kurama!He's gonna fight Sephire!

-And how do u know that?
-I…..dreamed it..

-Dreamed?

-You don't know me Hiei…my dreams are real!let me go!Or…come with me at least!

-Youko said you to stay here.He knew why.He wants u safe even if….he..may….die..

-I'll not allow that Hiei!Let me go….he doesn't know he's brother like I do…he's dangerous.capable of anything to reach his goal!

Hiei smirked and breath deeply.

-It seems that u don't know Kurama either,like I do.He will do anything to kill Sephire and keep u.

Hotaru clenched her fists,in one of them keeping her wand.

-Please Hiei….let me pass……I have to help Kurama….

-Do NOT underestimate him!

-I am not!she yelled,tears invading her eyes as she struggled to keep them away.But Sephire sure has some tricks prepared…..and I'm not going to allow him to kill MY Kurama!she yelled.

Next followed a moment of silence.

-I will take u there.

"NEXT FIGHTING ARE YOUKO KURAMA AND LORD SEPHIRE.THE FIRST FIGHT BETWEEN BROTHERS IN YEARS.DO NOT MISS IT!FINALLY,THE GREAT POWERFULL DEMON YOUKO KURAMA VS. LORD SEPHIRE.THE FIGHT TAKES PLACE IN THE CORP 34 B ABOVE THE POOL"

How can they be so happy….about this fight?Hotaru whispered into the wall as she rested her forehead against it.Hiei kept his word and took her there to see the fight.They were standing above the place of the fight,in a long hallway.

"Kurama will kill me for this…..You're in debt with me onna…."

Hotaru saw Kurama coming into the fight space.Sephire was on the other side,looking with hate at his silver haired brother of his.

-Hei,Kurama!he yelled.

Kurama din't bother to answer.

-The small firefly…..she's….MINE!

Anger flashed thru Youko's eyes.

-LADIES AND GENTLEMENS THE FIGHT WILL START IN 5,4,3,2,1!

GOOD LUCK YOUKO!she yelled and then someone cut off her word and in a whisper could be heard bad words addressed to the small fox.

Youko summound his whip and Sephire did the same.A 10 minutes period they fought with them but they seemed equal in power.

-Kurama……Hotaru murmured from above.

As if he would of heard her Youko looked up and saw her…her violet eyes crying in fear for him.

-Hotaru….

Sephire took advantage and hit him with the whip,catching his neck around it.

-KURAMA!1Hotaru yelled almost falling from the balcony.

-Hotaru……go away…..he muttered.

-My dear firefly……looks like your pet is struggling…..should I cut his pain away already?
-NO!STOP!Onegai!

Sephire pulled Youko closer but din't saw the plants seeds around him.Youko maked them grow and attack Sephire.The blue demon jumped into the air pulling Youko after him.

-Do that again and she dies!

Youko frozed.By this time Hotaru was already down,close to them.

-Let him go Sephire….It's all about us..

-Why should I?Because of him you're not by my side…

-Let him go…..and I'll fight u.

-U never accept it.Why now?

-Why not?U make me not being able to de-transforme….scared?

Sephire began to laugh like a lunatic.

-Fine!Fight me for him!

-Deal!

Youko was free and he approached her.He saw her wand.

-U can't…it will destroy this world!

-I have a solution Kurama….for this….I will give him what he wants….he wants to see my most dangerous attack.More dangerous than Silence Glaive Surprise or Death Reborn Revolution…he wants to see my true nature,my true source of power….But for this I'll need the power of Silver Saturn.(she looks at him and smiles).I've done this before do not worry.Trust me….I'll control my power….

She turned to him and her violet eyes shined silver once.

-But before Sephire...let Kurama know...about us...what happend...I'll tell him..

-YOUKO KURAMA U MUST FIGHT AGAINST SEPHIRE NOW!ANY..-

-Urusai!Hotaru yelled.You shall not tell us what to do or I'll destroy your pathetic spirit world.

She was angry.Very angry.Kurama could tell that she was no longer...at least for the moment...his Taru.

They looked back at Sephire who was smirking.But none of them knew that with every step they took they were closer of the end...The end for him and her...Some beeings live only a day...but they are living it fully...Others ,like Kurama and Hotaru live an eternity...but they see what they had and could be...only in the end...Sometimes...a day is more important...and more precious...than an eternity.
